You probably aren't too far off with this estimate. Almost everyone I know who were hard core fans 20 years ago either don't care anymore or only casually watch. I know zero kids who are WFT fans. The name change isn't as big a deal to them as Snyder being the owner is. As long as he's the owner they say they wont ever go back. Now that they have found other things to do Sunday afternoons instead of watching WFT games I am sure it will take a lot to have a chance at bringing them back.
